Answer:

The answer is: y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (3, -1)

Given equation: y = 2/3x - 5, which is in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point slope form of the equation with the point (3, -1) and substitute:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 3)

y + 1 = 2/3x - 6/3

y + 1 = 2/3x - 2

y = 2/3x - 3

Proof:

f(3) = 2/3(3) - 3

= 6/3 - 3

= 2 - 3

= -1, giving the point (3, -1)

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

Answer:

B = 61.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp side/ hypotenuse

sin B = 7/8

Take the inverse of each side

sin ^-1 ( sin B) = sin ^ -1 (7/8)

B =61.04497563

To the nearest tenth

B = 61.0

Solve the following problem. Give the equation using x as the​ variable, and give the answer.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

A. 3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number equal x.

Set up the first half of the equation.

The sum of three times the number and 8 more than the number can be written as:

3x + (x+8)

Sum means that you add the components.

Set up the second half of the equation.

The difference between -22 and twice the number can be written as:

-22 - 2x

Difference means subtraction, and because -22 is written first, that is the number that you subtract <em>from</em>.

If you set the halves of the equation equal, you get:

3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x

Therefore, the answer is A.
